Android Studio

1. What is Android Studio?

It’s an Android focused IDE, designed specially for Android development. It was launched on 16th May 2013, during Google’s I/O 2013 event. Android studio contains all the Android SDK tools to design, test, debug and profile your app. By looking at the development tools and environment, we can see its similar to Eclipse with the ADT plug-in, but as I have mentioned above, it’s an Android focused IDE, and there are many cool features available in Android Studio that can foster and increase your development productivity.

One great thing is that it depends on the IntelliJ Idea IDE, which has proved itself to be a great IDE and has been in use by many Android engineers.
